These dedicated professionals care about you, want to see you succeed, and will be there with you through your entire program at our detox center in Palmdale.

Drug & alcohol detox can take anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks

Our Addiction Detox Plan

The addiction detox treatment program begins with an evaluation to determine the type of substance in your system, if you have a potential for co-occurring disorders, and if there are any behavioral issues you will need help with. The next step will be to begin the detoxification process with the help of your detox treatment team. Remember, you will not be doing this alone. Your detox treatment team will let you know what to expect during treatment and the recovery process. The last step of the drug addiction detox or alcohol addiction detox treatment is to move into one of our residential rehabilitation programs, that best fits your needs, to complete your journey to a renewed life.

A general estimate of the withdrawal symptoms and timelines are below:

Heroin or prescription painkillers: flu-like symptoms lasting one to two days

Cocaine: depression and/or restlessness lasting from 7-10 days

Alcohol: seizures and/or tremors lasting from three days to multiple weeks
